Detectives investigating an attempted murder have carried out a stop and interview operation close to the M8 motorway where the attack occured.

A 37-year-old man, believed to be Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, was attacked in his car in Craighall Road, Port Dundas last Thursday.

He had been driving a dark blue Skoda Octavia south on Saracen Street when two cars began to pursue him at speed.

He then stopped his car close to the motorway sliproad and was attacked by the occupants of one of the cars resulting in him sustaining serious facial injuries.

Emergency services at the scene initially thought the 37-year-old had been shot as his injuries were so severe, but later discovered it was a stabbing.

On Wednesday night, May 24 at 11.30pm and the early hours of Thursday, May 25, officers were in Craighall Road where it meets the M8 sliproad and spoke to several members of the public who use that area in an effort to gather additional information.

Over 100 people were stopped and interviewed and police received 'positive feedback'.

Detective Inspector Jim Bradley said: “The aim of this operation was to speak to members of the public who perhaps use this route on a regular basis, around this particular time, in the hope that they remember something which could assist our enquiries.

"We have spoken to more than 100 people and had received positive feedback. This information is now being assessed by officers on the inquiry team, with any relevant lines of enquiry being followed up.”

Detectives are still keen to hear from two people who were standing at traffic lights waiting to cross where Craighall Road meets the slip road onto the M8 and are appealing for these two people to contact them.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact officers at London Road police Station via 101, quoting reference number 0039 of 18 May 2017.
